These models are an attempt to give myself an extra tool in my toolbox for designing graphical user interfaces (GUI’s). With these models, I can print out wireframes, designed using programs like Figma, PenPot, Illustrator Etc., and place them in these models to get some hands-on feedback. Another thing these models allow me to do is create scrollable hand-drawn wireframes. On top of that, I’ve laminated some sheets of paper which I can wipe clean after taking a photo of it – reducing the amount of paper used.
